E-mail [email protected] (autor correspondência) ² Instituto de Pesca, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Aquicultura e Pesca, Santos-SP. Resumo: Os hábitos alimentares e estrutura de tamanhos de peixes-roncadores (Conodon nobilis) foram estudados em 82 exemplares com comprimentos totais variando de 35 a 91 mm, coletados na zona de arrebentação em Praia Grande, São Paulo. A coleta foi feita com rede tipo picaré de 10 metros de comprimento por 2 metros de altura e malha de 4 mm entre-nós. Os peixes foram conservados congelados e em laboratório o trato digestório analisado em lupa estereoscópica, sendo observado o tipo e a quantidade de itens alimentares. O espectro alimentar da espécie foi caracterizado principalmente pelos crustáceos zooplanctônicos, com maior frequência de Mysida (48,59%) e Copepoda (36,05%). Foi observada a ocorrência de insetos em alguns estômagos, provavelmente associado à vegetação marginal e à presença do lixo urbano na praia. A dieta variou de acordo com seu comprimento, notando-se que peixes menores que 60 mm tiveram preferência por presas menores com tamanhos variando de 1 a 2 mm. A turbulência gerada pela ação das ondas na zona de arrebentação é importante para a alimentação de C. nobilis pois facilita a suspensão de presas de substrato arenoso para a coluna d’água e assim podem ser mais facilmente capturadas. Palavras-chaves: Alimentação, Zooplâncton, Praia Feeding habits of the barred grunt (Conodon nobilis) (Haemulidae: Perciformes) in the surf zone of Praia Grande, São Paulo, Brazil Abstract: The feeding habits and size structure of the barred grunt (Conodon nobilis) were studied based on 82 specimens from 35 to 91 mm TL, collected in the surf zone in the city of Praia Grande, São Paulo. Samples were obtained from a beach seine 10 meters long, 2 meters high and 4.0 mm mesh. The fish were kept frozen and in the laboratory the digestive tract was analyzed under a stereomicroscope, taking into acount the type and quantity of food items. The food spectrum of the species was characterized mainly by zooplanktonic crustaceans, with a higher frequency of Mysida (48.59%) and Copepoda (36.05%). It was observed the occurrence of insects in some stomachs, probably associated to the marginal vegetation and the presence of urban waste. The diet varied according to their length, where fish smaller than 60 mm preferred smaller prey sizes ranging from 1 to 2 mm. The turbulence generated by the waves in the surf zone is important for the feeding of C. nobilis once facilitates the suspension of prey of sandy bottom to the water column and thus prey can be more easily captured.

Phylogenetic analyses were Fish performed on 97 grunt species based on sequence data collected from seven loci. Divergence time estimation Functional traits indicates that Haemulidae originated during the mid Eocene (54.7–42.3 Ma) but that the major lineages were Morphospace formed during the mid-Oligocene 30–25 Ma. We propose a new classification that reflects the phylogenetic Macroevolution history of grunts. Overall the pattern of morphological and functional diversification in grunts appears to be Zooplanktivore strongly linked with feeding ecology. Feeding traits and the first principal component of body shape strongly separate species that feed in benthic and pelagic habitats. The benthic-to-pelagic axis has been the major axis of ecomorphological diversification in this important group of tropical shoreline fishes, with about 13 transitions between feeding habitats that have had major consequences for head and body morphology.

Maturity, fecundity, and reproductive cycle of Conodon nobilis (Actinopterygii: Perciformes: Haemulidae) in tropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Acta Ichthyol. Piscat. 49 (3): 235–242. Background. Reproductive aspects of fishes are very useful in the development of management and conservation strategies of stocks. The information available on this subject, however, is very limited for tropical species, especially for those with low economic value, such as the barred grunt, Conodon nobilis (Linnaeus, 1758). This species is a common member of the family Haemulidae off the coasts of Brazil and it plays an important ecological role in coastal areas acting as a biological vector of organic matter. Thus, this study was intended to provide data on the reproductive parameters of C. nobilis to fill the gap in the existing knowledge. Material and methods. Reproductive traits of C. nobilis were estimated from 410 fish collected in the coast of Alagoas, during fishery surveys carried out between December 2009 and June 2012.

The samples were taken in September 2005 and March 2006 by bottom otter trawling. The stomach content analysis of 2,328 specimens of 49 species showed most fish fed on a large range of food items but relied heavily on shrimp, crabs/swimming-crabs, amphipods, mysids, polychaetes, ophiuroids, squids, and teleosteans. The species were classified into ten trophic groups. Shrimp were an important food source in the Santos bay and inner shelf, while ophiuroids were important prey for predators of the middle shelf. Many species relied on crabs/swimming-crabs during the summer, especially on the middle shelf. The spatial and temporal variability in food resource utilization by fish were related to the pattern of distribution and abundance of their prey. The predation on shrimp and crabs/swimming-crabs seems to be related to the water mass dynamics of the region.

    Tavera et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2012, 12:57 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/12/57 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Molecular phylogeny of grunts (Teleostei, Haemulidae), with an emphasis on the ecology, evolution, and speciation history of New World species José Julián Tavera1,2*, Arturo Acero P3, Eduardo F Balart1 and Giacomo Bernardi2 Abstract Background: The fish family Haemulidae is divided in two subfamilies, Haemulinae and Plectorhynchinae (sweetlips), including approximately 17 genera and 145 species. The family has a broad geographic distribution that encompasses contrasting ecological habitats resulting in a unique potential for evolutionary hypotheses testing. In the present work we have examined the phylogenetic relationships of the family using selected representatives of additional Percomorpha based on Bayesian and Maximum likelihood methods by means of three mitochondrial genes. We also developed a phylogenetic hypothesis of the New World species based on five molecular markers (three mitochondrial and two nuclear) as a framework to evaluate the evolutionary history, the ecological diversification and speciation patterns of this group. Results: Mitochondrial genes and different reconstruction methods consistently recovered a monophyletic Haemulidae with the Sillaginidae as its sister clade (although with low support values). Previous studies proposed different relationships that were not recovered in this analysis. We also present a robust molecular phylogeny of Haemulinae based on the combined data of two nuclear and three mitochondrial genes. All topologies support the monophyly of both sub-families (Haemulinae, Plectorhinchinae). The genus Pomadasys was shown to be polyphyletic and Haemulon, Anisotremus, and Plectorhinchus were found to be paraphyletic. Four of seven presumed geminate pairs were indeed found to be sister species, however our data did not support a contemporaneous divergence.
